Patch 1.11 Notes: https://imgur.com/a/jahbd#IVsE12j (yes that's the entire patch, very short)
*HOW TO GET GEAR*
Simple, since the build uses only one set, jpn bravest, you only need to fight Saikon in "Sekigahara" for its smithing text (spear+armor). I recommend him on way of the strong if you can't kill him fast in demon. Monobe Axe smithing text can be farmed from Yasuke in "Return of the Gourd", though you only really need a 7 stat divine one, which is easy to get. Only reason you'd want to forge one is if you wanted to get star stat Titanic strength/lumber chop. master swordsman is optional, can be farmed from 2kat master in marobashi/dojo. Alternatively you can use a kingo/sanada piece for more final blow damage for spear, if you wanted.
*EXTRA THOUGHTS ON BUILD*
I primarily use this as an axe build, since axe is so strong right now. Spear is honestly meh (as its always been), anything that requires comboing into is usually bad, and tornado or spearfall fall victim to that a little (on top of tornado having a long animation). Still a fun wpn, just not "op" enough for me. So if you just wanted an axe build, then ignore stats on spear. I chose Mononobe Axe for one reason, in where I think it's superior to ALL other axes, it's perma cta str A. Not only does this mean less headache of reforging (since you just need to transfer a 20% ccd inheritable from revenant wpn to complete the hard parts of reforging), you also GAIN A SLOT, which is much more diesriable than any other 2pc axe effect. Kaido for example may have higher attack multiplier, but it's just a flat amount higher, and doesn't equate to much damage difference. however you lose a slot on kaido, since you already have 2 perma stats, lightning and set bonus, meaning you have to waste two more slots on ccd and cta. Where'as Mono axe already has cta, so the only "dead" stat is the elemental. This allows you to get all the stats i have on the axe. For spear you'd want ccd 20%, not skill dmg, since you want final blow damage and ccd counts towards final blows, skill dmg does not. Mid-stance is alright and rather common if you don't want to go through the hell of reforging, just put tornado on midstance.
Another point is equipment weight dmg bonus on ranged wpn. If you pass 30.1 weight, there's no hidden dmg bonus anymore since patch 1.10 I believe. HOWEVER, you gain a good chunk of dmg from equipment weight dmg bonus stat itself, if you pass it however, outdamging agility A. Below 30.1, stick to agility, but over 30.1 weight, like in this build, EWDB gives more damage. Also, yes, I'm aware I said titanic might instead of strength multiple times lol my bad
And that about covers it. If any further questions let me know, leave a like, and subscribe for more~
